John Townley

Unai Emery this afternoon named Aston Villa's oldest starting lineup (29 years, 69 days on average) for a Premier League game since February 2012, when they faced Manchester City (29y 116d). #AVFC

Aston Villa have now lost three Premier League matches in a row for only the second time under Unai Emery. Important couple of home matches next week... #AVFC

The Athletic

A statement of intent against fellow Champions League hopefuls by Michael Carrick’s Manchester United. Two assists for Bruno Fernandes, another goal for Benjamin Sesko, and three more points as Manchester United strengthen their hold on third against Aston Villa.

#AVFC suffer their third consecutive league defeat, going down 3-1 to Man United at Old Trafford. It's now just two league wins here in 38 trips. https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/john-townleys-aston-villa-player-33593513

FT: Man United 3-1 #AVFC Just three wins in the last 13 PL games. Record here remains wretched, yet Villa had opportunities to take the game to the hosts. But when you compound the same type of cheap goals conceded and a very blunt attack, it's difficult to execute any plan

Wind taken out of #AVFC, there. Were on top and the atmosphere had changed. Then through one giveaway and Konsa losing Cunha, momentum violently swung again. For a manager who prides himself on avoiding transition, the two goals will sting. Villa trying to rally themselves now

Cunha, goal. Straight after Emery loses it with Bailey for giving the ball away. Another cheap turnover punished. 2-1 Manchester United. #AVFC
